Birds vs Dallas -3

[Adreme]

No matter how much they know each other SF exposed weaknesses on film right now.
Philly had those advantages in the first match up and Dallas has them now.

Fans who watched that game had to think Dallas wins pretty easily and smart money will come in on Dallas.
Even if you think Philly is a better team (very possible) the situations here are the kind gamblers look for to take easy money.
Philly looked emotionally drained and physically whooped.
We saw Dallas need a few games to get right after that same scenario earlier this year.

FWIW, I still think Philly wins the division but this week is set up for them to get crushed then start the playoff readiness run w 8 days rest and 4 very winnable games to close.

SF did not really show anything new, nor was it anything that would change the gameplan. You can’t really try and replicate how SF played. Pollard is not CMac, no one is Kittle, and there isn’t anyone like Deebo on the roster.

The strength of the Cowboys is a better OLine overall and that Lamb is better. You have to build your game plan around that and not what a different team with different strengths and weaknesses did.

then people are stupid.
Dallas is undefeated at home and get a major rest/scouting advantage.
I expect the line to move about a point more to Dallas.

First of all why is it stupid the Eagles still have a better record and they beat us head to head five weeks ago I'd say it's a good line and who really cares what the line is it matters what you do when you show up in the game the Eagles were pretty upset at the line at home with the 49ers having such a big line.. Well Vegas was right the Eagles got destroyed at home even being the team at home with the best record and beat them in the playoffs and with the symbol last year the line just happened to be correct....

So I don't waste time with the line but I just gotta tell you guys who cares just worry about what happens on the field not what Vegas and anybody thinks not what rankings are.. We are hitting by far the toughest part of our schedule why the Eagles have the easiest part after us...

Not sure what we are even debating here.

SF showed many ways to beat that Eagles team and in a convincing fashion. Sure, some of it is talent but some is play design.
PHI has to spend all week trying to plug those holes while Dallas simply had to sit back and watch the game to see how SF forced the Eagles into bad looks and add a play here or there to the game plan.

All of it was talent. There was 0 SF showed about the Eagles that was not known already about the Eagles. If the coaching staff genuinely did not know everything that happened yesterday already they should be fired today. SF showed nothing new.

The Eagles have to do none of what you said because the Cowboys have very different personnel. If the Cowboys do what SF did then they will lose. The offense already has shown how to beat the PHI defense so basically the game plan should not change much from game 1 there.

The bigger question is the Cowboys defense versus the Eagles offense. They are not as good against the run as SF so they have to figure out another way to take that element away. That is the key to the game. Also hoping that Bland just had a bad game and isn’t coming down to earth.
